The types of movies and books that catch my attention ussually accomplish it with the viability of the IDEA. The Stephen King book "The Stand" shook me to the core in 1980 when I first read it. Because he made it BELIEVABLE that it was POSSIBLE. That's the way I saw Red Dawn.

Needless to say, I am a big fan of MooreĆ¢??s, applauded his Oscar speech, consider myself as far Left as he does, and believe he is one of the boldest, most original voices in pop culture today.

PLEASE consider that his review of Red Dawn is FAR from a REAL objective movie review.
And I am curious? When YOU watched it, which side were you rooting for?

To ME it was just dumb and absurd to believe high schoolers with hunting weapons could have ever done what they did. Plus the acting was not really the best. But I admit to liking some movies that are also dumb with not the best acting so I'm not trying to give you a hard time... well OK maybe a little I never though of the political aspect until now or that the premise of the movie was designed to support the NRA or Reagan's policies but it looks like it did whether is was meant to or not.

Larry settle the fuck down,which side? that's a silly question but I KNEW it was a movie and it would end the same no matter how I cheered. I didn't say what I posted was objective, it was simply an opinion but some of what the guy said is hard to argue with. On another site I heard it described as a right wing fantasy film.

APPLEGATE Wrote:I mostly enjoy comedies. Here's a short list... I like 'em all. Yea, RESERVOIR DOGS is a hoot. At least the scene at breakfast when "Mr Green" (or whomever) is explaining why he won't tip). PRINCES BRIDE was okay. Okay too if I never see it again. Don't see SOAP DISH on many lists. It was drop dead funny. Kevin Kline always good as is Sally Fields.
